Making Copies of DVCAM tapes some that have timecode breaks in the middle of the footage. I only have one deck so I have to capture into FCP and then edit to tape using the same deck.
Any body have a way to replicate the break so that let's say if the original tapes timecode jumps ahead say 6 minutes I can make the dub do the same thing.
I've tried blackening the 1st couple minutes of the tape and assemble edited the first piece on no problem, but when adding the second piece the timecode just continues on from where the first piece ended. Is there a way to transfer the timecode from the second clip onto the tape bolted on to the end of the first piece so it has the same 6 minute skip in the timecode like the original ?
I've tried the "insert timecode button" on the edit to tape window - I have never found that button to make any difference in anything.
If I had 2 decks and copied right from one to the other would it replicate the timecode break ??
